Van Gogh Museum reaches funding agreement with Dutch government

Protesters have put up a display outside the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York to illustrate the links between Leon Black, trustee at the museum, and Jeffrey Epstein. Black, who became chair of the museum board in 2018, stepped down amid calls for his removal in 2021, but has remained a trustee.

During the protest, which according to Hyperallergic was attended by some two dozen people, the Institute of Primary Facts parked its ‘Bookmobile’ – a converted food truck containing bound volumes of the released Epstein files, in which Black is mentioned thousands of times – outside the museum.

Flock Camera Backlash Now Extends to Beauty Shops

Ulta shoppers may now have more to worry about than running out of mascara. The beauty retailer has quietly installed Flock Safety's automated license plate reader cameras at some stores, a move that's triggered calls for a boycott and a new pressure campaign from gender justice group Ultra Violet, Allure reports. Flock's AI-driven system logs plates and other vehicle details and can share data with local police, raising fears over mass surveillance and tracking of protesters, immigrants, and people seeking abortions.

Ulta Beauty Faces Fury Over AI Cameras That Track Customers’ Licence Plates: ‘They Can Watch You Shopping’

"UltraViolet, a gender-justice organisation, has launched a campaign titled Hey Ulta: Mass surveillance isn't pretty. The group is asking Ulta Beauty to cut its relationship with Flock Safety and shut down its cameras in its car parks.

The petition argues that Flock's wider network of AI-powered cameras can be used to track people's movements through their vehicle licence plates. UltraViolet also argues that Flock's technology could enable surveillance targeting women seeking reproductive healthcare, protesters and immigrant communities.

'Flock's dystopian license plate readers are supplying the data needed to carry out these attacks,' the organisation states in its petition, adding that the systems are 'often wrong and are regularly used to stalk women'.

Ulta Beauty Is Using Flock Cameras at Some Stores

Although Flock Safety noted that the company had partnered with Ulta Beauty back in July 2025, the general public seems to have been made aware after a petition by Ultra Violet, a gender justice nonprofit that “works to create a more inclusive world for women and gender expansive people,” says Jenna Sherman, Ultra Violet’s campaign director whose work focuses on the intersection of tech and gender. The petition demands “that Ulta sever all ties with Flock and immediately shut off Flock cameras in Ulta parking lots.”

She Questioned Flock Cameras at Ulta, and It Sparked a Bigger Debate About Privacy

The advocacy group UltraViolet immediately launched a public campaign dubbed “Hey Ulta: Mass surveillance isn’t pretty.“ Her video has since become part of a campaign by women's rights organisation UltraViolet, which is calling on Ulta Beauty to sever its relationship with Flock and remove the cameras from its parking lots. UltraViolet describes Ulta as one of Flock's biggest commercial customers. That characterisation comes from UltraViolet; the organisation does not publicly provide a figure for the size or value of Ulta's contract.

Karen Attiah’s Reinstatement Is a Win for Journalism Itself… But When Will She Return

The "order requiring The Washington Post to rehire Karen Attiah is a victory for free speech and a rebuke to efforts to silence critics of Trump and his far-right allies,” UltraViolet Action Executive Director Arisha Hatch told EBONY. The advocacy organization, which drives feminist cultural and political change, spoke out against Attiah's firing last year. “At the same time, women journalists, especially Black women, are still facing attacks from the Trump administration and retaliation by some of the country’s most powerful institutions. Karen shows that we can fight back—and win.”

She bought ‘GLP-1’ patches on TikTok. She got scammed instead.

Schmidt’s experience highlights a pattern of deceptive marketing on TikTok that appears to be fueling a gray market for GLP-1 medications — including “research grade” drugs that are often in powder form. Content about such weight loss drugs on TikTok primarily targets women through sexualized images and videos, according to a new report from UltraViolet, the gender equality organization.
